How can you bring standards to life and reality in your classroom? This guide  is for teachers who seek a model and processes for designing standards-based units of study to  use in their classrooms.   The proliferation of standards developed at the national and state levels turns the  preparation of a meaningful classroom curriculum into a daunting task. Imagine that your district  has recently adopted standards for student learning or your state has just published standards for  your subject area. As you open the standards documents, you wonder "How do I make these  standards part of my curriculum? How will I know if my students have attained the standards?"  Harris and Carr share their experiences with standards-based learning and offer practical  examples of how to develop standards into units of study. The model and processes they describe  in this book help readers in choosing and coordinating standards, topics, products and  performances, assessment criteria, exemplars, and scoring guides.
